Well Hun, to be honest my advice for exercise is don't do it, or if you must very light.... Truthfully about 4 weeks into my first ss i started doing short gym sessions, and they exhausted me - to the point I felt faint and sick.... And to top it off, the couple of weeks I was working out my losses were not as good, I think I must have converted my fat to muscle, but this time I'd prefer to do my 12 weeks, then ill hit that gym.
However if you feel like you want to exercise go for it, but be VERY gentle with yourself xx

That's excellent advice - I was thinking the exact the same thing -councillor advised me against it, plus the added tiredness I Cud do without. Thanx for that

I'm the same Hun, I find cd hard enough without adding extra tiredness and nausea into the mix as well
Yeah but no exercise for 12 weeks is a no can do for me personally - I am brisk walking for half hour 3x per week and it's recommended in the cd booklet too. Obv start after 2 weeks....so I dnt see why you can't do anything for 12 weeks - maybe go easy on other exercises x

Hey just wanted to ask what flavours of sachets you've tried. I'm a chocolate fan and so enjoying them, the fruits of the forest made me bork, just couldn't finish it off. Hav u tried the soup???

The choc shakes are the only decent ones and I bought 14 sachet last week - bad idea..!!! Now they taste nasty for me lol make sure u have a variety although most the shakes r just horrid. Soups are ok - my fave is leek and potato and the porridges are good too. After two weeks u are allowed bars so make sure u get some (3 or so) as they are a yummy treat
how ru finding it? Are u in kito yet? XSaraJaneQ said:The choc shakes are the only decent ones and I bought 14 sachet last week - bad idea..!!!

Good idea - sorry for sounding so dumb but how do I kno if I'm in ketosis?!
Don't tempt me with the bars-ill prob end up eating them lol! I don't like porridge but will def try the soup. May hav to go back and swop a few. Goin to use warm water for cappuccino one tonight - need a warm drink. Feeling a little 'empty' right now. But hey whoever sed weight loss is easy

that's why we r all here to support each other. I was like that day 1 too - basically u can buy kitostix from either ur CDC or chemist - I am surprised ur CDC didn't tell u :S anyway it's a stick that has a cushion square which u pee on lol and the colour should be turning salmon pink - violaaa ur in kito although try on day 3 or 4 - buy 2 or 3 bars for a treat xxSimilar threads
